Our Mathematics began in the ancient Mesopotamian civilizations. The Babylonians already knew much of the mathematics taught traditionally in our schools. Their algebra and geometry was phrased in terms of crops and fields and money. Since the Renaissance, much of mathematics has come from problems in physics and astronomy; for example, calculus arose from problems in mechanics. In turn mathematics has provided the theoretical framework and tools in the Physical Sciences. In the 19th century some parts of mathematics appeared to develop away from their origins in the physical world. To the great surprise of many scientists and mathematicians, some of the "pure" mathematics has turned out to be essential in many aspects of 20th century science. Differential geometry provides the language for general relativity and cosmology, and Hilbert space theory and group representations are the tools for quantum mechanics. Similarly, graph theory, combinatorics and number theory play a major role in computer science.
The Specialist and Major Programs in Mathematics and the Specialist Program in Mathematics and Its Applications are eligible for inclusion in the Co-operative Program in Physical Sciences and in the Concurrent Teacher Education Program (CTEP). Please refer to the Physical Sciences section, the Co operative Programs section and the Concurrent Teacher Education section of this Calendar for further information.

Mathematical problems which have arisen repeatedly in different cultures, e.g. solution of quadratic equations, Pythagorean theorem; transmission of mathematics between civilizations; high points of ancient mathematics, e.g. study of incommensurability in Greece, Pell's equation in India.
Exclusion: MAT390H
Prerequisite: One Grade 12 Mathematics course & 5.0 full university courses

MATD10H3  

MATD11H3  

MATD12H3 Topics in Mathematics
A variety of topics from geometry, analysis, combinatorics, number theory and algebra, to be chosen by the instructor
Prerequisite: MATC01H & [MATC35H or MATC37H ] & [MATC15H or (MATD02H)]

MATD61H3 Introduction to Industrial Mathematics
Monte Carlo Method (mean time between failures, servicing requests), Data Manipulation (z-transform, filters, Bode Plots), Discrete Fourier Transform (real time processing , FFT, image processing), Regression (best fit to discrete data, Hilbert Space, Gram's theorem), Frequency-Domain Methods, Numerical Models for PDE, Galerkin's methods, Cubic Splines.
The course provides extensions of mathematics useful in industrial problems, interweaving analytic and computing methods during problem solving.
